Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract, optional
  • 1/2 cup raspberries fresh or frozen

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup 85% dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Add all the filling ingredients to a food processor.
  • Pulse until mixture comes together but still has texture.
  • Roll tablespoons of the mixture into round balls, place on the baking tray and freeze for at least twenty minutes.
  • Just before the coconut balls are done in the freezer, melt store-bought chocolate over a double boiler being careful not to seize the chocolate.
  • Remove the coconut balls from the freezer and roll them in the melted chocolate so they are completely coated.
  • Place balls on a tray and sit in the fridge to set before serving.

Notes

These balls will require refrigeration. You can also store them in the freezer for 1-2 months.
